Maybe one day they can redevelop penn square like this! Attachment 18529

What is the context for this picture? I'm lost

I drove past it yesterday. It would be incredible for it to be open by then.

Yeah... it doesn't look like the Oak at all.

[burksooner]

I don't know what the specific context for the OP was, but likley they just thought it was a cool development proposal

The image comes from a proposed development in Markville, Ontario - https://markhamreview.com/proposed-m...consultations/

I took it as a redevelopment wish for Penn Square, not OAK.

Ah, ok. I was trying to figure out where Penn Square and The Oak were in that picture. I thought it might have been in that trove of old Belle Isle renders and I just couldn't orient myself to see it.

I think the point that the OP was trying to make was that they’d like to see PSM’s surface parking reimagined along the lines of this rendering; structured parking and towers, be they office or residential. Personally I think the footprint at PSM is too compact to accomplish this. Quail Springs would be a much more likely candidate from a land/outparcel standpoint, but of course such density makes more sense closer to the core, where PSM is.

Understood. I was confused.

Any more updates on more retail/restaurants coming to this development?

Not yet but plenty more are coming.

I know about a bunch more but they are done deals so don't want to put the word out and mess up getting everything finalized.

Pete, any word on the office building? I'm anxious to see what it will look like, and how tall it will be.

From recent renderings, it looks to be shorter than the hotel by around three floors. I personally wish it would've stayed at the 11-story plan they had before recent changes, but you can't tell a business how much office space they'll need. Would've been really nice to have some more verticality along the length of NW Expressway to connect with the rest of the height built up going towards OK-74. But I'm sure more projects will pop up and fill in over the next few decades.

Can't build what you can't fill. Big-time companies aren't beating down doors in OKC trying to move in office jobs.

I bet a nice mid rise would fill nicely just due to the address and amenities - even if it cannibalized from othe office buildings

More on Pottery Barn -- will be a very nice store:

[Pete]

You can see they have already started on Pottery Barn (center left):

[Oski]

I wonder if PB is just a "placeholder" that will be replaced by a mid/high-rise in the future?

Huh? The office building is going next door to it. PB is 100% not a headfake.

[jn1780]

That would be an expensive placeholder. But I guess, all buildings are placeholders if you or grandchildren wait long enough.

[brianinok]

I wish they would start RH. That's the one I need the most. Well, I guess I need it like a hole in the head....

Should be starting very soon and will go up fast.

Nice touch getting the snow!

Interesting to see the different approaches to construction of Arhaus vs. Capital Grill. I can appreciate the difference in needs between the space, but it's still just so stark.

Arhaus will be 2-levels, high ceilings with wide-open display areas.

Capitol Grille will be one level with intimate dining. No need for expensive, clear-span steel.
